A media transformation

With the retirement of Tom Brokaw, it seems to be the end of a era. It’s not just the ending of a distinguished career, but the death of an American tradition. For years people would come home from work and watch the nightly news to stay informed, but now there are so many more media options to choose from. There are now a plethora of cable news stations and the internet allows people to be plugged into the world news beat from practically any location. Americans no longer rely on just a handful of anchor men to deliver the news and it will be interesting to see how big of a roll Brokaw’s replacement plays in the American media machine.
